TOOL FOR REMOVING SHAGKLE BOLTS OF AUTOMOBILE SPRINGS AND THE LIKE.

Application filed May 28, 1921. Serial No. 473,333.

To all whomit may concern:

Be it known that we, CLAUDE O. Dn'rno, REGINALD W. AKIENT, and GEORGES.KENT, citizens of the United States, residing at Burkburnett, in thecounty of Wichita and State of Texas, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Tools for Removing Shackle Bolts of Automobile Springsand the like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to .a tool for use upon automobiles and the like,the general object of the invention being to provide means forfacilitating the removal of the shackle bolts of the springs and thelike.

Another object of the invention'is to provide means for detachablysecuring the device to a part of the automobile with an expansible partof the tool engaging another part so that when the eXpansi'ble part isexpanded the weight will be taken off of the bolt so that the same canbe easily removed.

This invention also consists in'certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illusor correspondingparts throughout, thesevoral views, and in which I Figure 1 is a v ewqshowing the device inuse. 1

which it engages by the screw bolt 2 which, passes through a screwthreaded hole in one of the bent up ends of the strap. A wrench engagingmember 3 is swiveled, by means of the stud e, to the central part of thestrap 1 and this member is provided with a in the appended Figure 2 isan enlarged view of the device screw threaded socket 5 to receive thescrew threaded bolt 6. The outer end of this bolt is pointed, as at 7,and adjacent this pointed end the bolt is-provided with a transversehole8.

From the abo'vefit will be. apparent that when the strap 1 is connectedwith a part will be forced apart due to the longitudinal movement ofbolt 6 and thus the pressure of the parts upon'the'shackle bolt 9 willberemoved so that said bolt can be easily withdrawn. Bolt 6 can beprevented from rotating by placing a pin or rod 8 in hole 8 but in mostcases the said bolt 6 will be held against rotation the frictionalengagement of its pointed end with the spring or other part. i

The device can also be used in other situa-' tions where it is desiredto force two parts away from each other.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of our invention will be readily apparent.

We desire it to be understood that we may make changes in theconstruction and in the combination and arrangement of the several,parts, provided that such changes fall within the scopev of the appendedclaims.

That we claim is 1-- 1. A tool ofthe character described comprisin achannel shaped member. a screw boltadapted to passthrough a screwthreaded hole in thechannel shaped member, a wrench engaging memberswivelled to the channelshaped member and being provided with a screwthreaded socket and a screw threaded bolt received in the socket as andfor the purpose specified} 2. A tool for removing shackle bolts from 1vehicle springs comprising a channel shaped member designed to engage aportion of the vehicle and being provided with a screw threadedhole, ascrew threaded bolt passing through the screw threaded hole to clamp thechannel shaped member to the desired portion of the vehicle, a studswivelled to H the cent-r2111 portion ef the Channel shaped rceired' inthehtran sverse hole as: and fer the by the stud and being provided Witha screw In testimony whereof We affix 0dr sighw 10 v 5 afransverse holeand a' pointed end, said member, a Wrench engaging member carriedpurpose specified.
